Mixing & Thinning Instructions
RiteZinc RZ 1k Series is a single component material and requires
no hardener. Agitate thoroughly by shaker or mixer before
application. If material will not be used within 10 minutes, re-agitate
or use continuous mixing during application to ensure a uniform
consistency of zinc in the film. No reduction is necessary. If reducing
or thinning is required, please contact your Riteks technical service
representative for instructions.
